I'm used to interpreting gibberish -- maybe I should add that to my skillset.

Anywho, I'm positive that there's a better way of doing this, but A. Monk's panic was almost palpable. At least it runs with -w with minimal fuss. 
open INFILE, "flatFile.csv" || die("Can't read flatFile.csv");
open OUTFILE, ">flatFile.out" || die("Can't open flatFile.out");

$MAX_PARAMS = 11;
$THIS_PAGE = "http://mypage.com/new/test.pl?opt_1=FIELD1&opt_2=FIELD2&
+opt_3=FIELD3&opt_4=FIELD4&opt_5=FIELD5&opt_6=FIELD6&opt_7=FIELD7&opt_
+8=FIELD8&opt_9=FIELD9&opt_10=FIELD10&ins_company=FIELD0&t=s";
$THIS_DELIMTER = ",";

while (<INFILE>) {
    @theseFields = split/$THIS_DELIMTER/;
    $paramLength = @theseFields;
    $paramLength == $MAX_PARAMS 
        || warn("expected $MAX_PARAMS parameters, $paramLength paramet
+ers found:");
    $finalPage = $THIS_PAGE;
    for ($i = 0; $i < $MAX_PARAMS; $i++)  {
        $finalPage =~ s/FIELD$i/$theseFields[$i]/gi;
    }
    print OUTFILE "$finalPage\n";    
}

close OUTFILE;
close INFILE;
